The brand new store will be officially opened at 8.00am on Saturday 29th January 2022.
Home Bargains has invested approximately £1 million in its new store at the Kingston District Centre in Milton Keynes.
The new store will create 65 new jobs in the local community with its store in The Kingston Centre. In total, the store will employ 75 team members, including some staff and management who will be transferring from other local stores.
Katie Wilson, the new Milton Keynes store manager, said: “I started my Home Bargains journey in October 2012 in Litherland, Liverpool. I relocated to Milton Keynes six years ago and have recently been running the Beacon Retail Park store in Bletchley. I’m excited to be bringing my years of experience at Home Bargains to the new Kingston Centre store.
“There’s nothing quite like the buzz of opening a new store. A lot of hard work and dedication has gone into the new site, and I can’t wait to open its doors this weekend alongside such a fantastic team. I am exceptionally proud of everyone.”
The 17,168 sq. ft store was previously home to Marks & Spencers and Mamas & Papas.
The new store will also be donating £2,000 to local charity, Emily’s Star.
The charity supports children with complex and life-threatening illnesses through memory making, monthly support sessions and family activities.
Darcy Scott-Hindmarch, Wish Referral Co-ordiantor at Emily’s Star, said: “Receiving this donation means so much to us. Charities such as ours have been hit hard by the pandemic, so this means that we can continue to make precious memories for children with life-limiting illness."
